The Mac & Cheese Bake

Well this is as easy as pie. All you need is:

• Macaroni pasta, actually any similar shape will do, fusilli is very pretty
• Bacon, chopped
• Spanish (red) onion, finely chopped
• 1 tin evaporated milk (Nestle Ideal Milk)
• Thin pouring cream (about 1 cup)
• Cheddar cheese, grated
• Packet of instant brown onion soup mix

All you need to do is prepare your pasta the usual way. While the pasta is cooking, saute the onion in olive oil, add bacon and fry until the bacon is crispy. Add the bacon and onion to the cooked pasta and then layer the bacon and onion pasta mixture with evaporated milk, cream, cheddar cheese, sprinkling the instant soup powder between the layers as you go. End with a layer of cheddar cheese on the top. About 2 - 3 layers should be good depending on your dish size. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celcius for about 30 minutes. Serve with a salad or not, very very delicious. This is truly a super quick meal which the whole family will love......

Idea: you could saute mushroom with the onion and bacon, and include sliced tomato between the layers of pasta.
